thats too fast, or do you mean Nov/Dec. 2004? Why such a hurry? Shouldn't we 
have a feature freeze first and try to release a stable and powerful relea?se 
instead

- MySql License fix (should be done within the next days)

- Documentation
  most of new features aren't documented yet
  Zend2-API Documentation

- QA
  Only a few developers tested PHP5. We need a better qa

- DB Features
  pdo isn't ready yet
  lot of open points how to implement iterators, methods and properties.

More haste, less speed!!
